The Cottage on Biltmore Estate is a luxury retreat, offering 1,500 square feet of luxurious privacy and all the comforts of home.

Though architect Richard Morris Hunt is responsible for the elegance of the Biltmore Estate, it was his son, Richard Howland Hunt, who designed the cottage. The building originally served as a residence for the market gardener at the Biltmore. In later years, it became a guest house for those visiting the estate. Today, you can reserve this stunning retreat for your own escape to Asheville.
